There're several excellent wingers in the world so why not play one of them on the wing and one of the best full backs of all time at full back instead (I'm talking about Slater btw)?



I noticed you also had Hock and Moi Moi in your team. Pure gold!

Hock isn't really a debate. He is currently the most devastating backrower in the world.



Moi Moi is a strange one but I wanted to pick the 4 best impact players I could think of. There are too many good props to pick one for the bench so I just went for the one who offers the most impact.

Jamie Lyon would be nowhere near this team.



Nor would moi moi, darius Boyd and Ryan hall based on form this year!

Lyon's been superb this year, if he hadn't have taken himself out of rep footy he'd be playing for nsw.

Agreed sheldon - Lyon has been absolutely sublime for Manly this year. He doesn't have the blockbusting power/pace of an Inglis, but he's a delight to watch, absolutely terrorising defences at times.



If I were a coach I'd get a greatest hits video of Lyon and make sure any young centre in my team sat and watched it many times.

Several players could be in or out of that team but its as good as I can think of off the top of my head.

I wouldn't put Hall in myself, but how has he been in poor form? This statement confuses me.

A lot of selections are in the Eye of the beholder.

Look at Brett Morris he is not in anyone's team as a Winger yet he has the best figures of any current Winger at Test level in recent times.

11 tries from 10 games 5 v NZ, 3 v Eng, 1 v PNG and 2 V France.

Compared to Ryan Hall the BWW, 6 tries from 10 games 3 v Aus, 2 v France and 1 v NZ



Both have Test careers since 2009.





Edit, I have talked myself into including Morris, Uate is too hit and miss.

There is no way I would play the best player in his position in the World out of place.

Slater is a Fullback and he is the best around.

You may play with second best Centres or Fullbacks on the wing as a utility.
